Answering for the second task:

Well, Vaseline Podcalzone is entering his 15th season with the Seattle Argonauts. Yes, you read that right. Year number fifteen. Podz ain't no young gun out of Newfoundland anymore.

The truth is, Podz is not a player in his prime anymore, and it shows. He's not as speedy as he once was. He isn't as ferocious or tenacious on the forecheck or with the body as he was during his peak years. Alas, Podz has had to evolve his game a little bit, and last season was very much a clear sign of a player trying to re-invent himself.

To help his defensemen though, Podz will mainly take a smart defensive mindset. That means no late backchecks, playing sound positionally, and look to apply a check wherever possible. He might no longer lay out a guy whenever he can, but Podz can still play a responsible two-way game and lessen the burden for the blueliners for sure.
